Zhu Bocheng stood firm and tall, with traces of embarrassnt flashing across his bright handso face. “What can I do? It’s just bad luck. Right, let introduce you to a friend. You’ve t a few tis before, but just haven’t been formally introduced.” Zhu Bocheng said as he shot his best friend on the side a wink. Unfortunately, this friend spoke too little and was as indifferent as before, so he had to speak up himself. “This is my best friend Zhenbai. Do you rember, Sister Chi?”
While Zhu Bocheng was doing the introduction, Qi Zhenbai glanced over with an indifferent look and a bit of astonishnt flickered across his handso face. His face quickly restored its coldness, and he nodded indifferently as a greeting.
Chi Shuyan nodded gently. “I rember!” Even she wouldn’t believe it if she said she didn’t rember such a huge tonic pill.
She sneaked a glance at soone whose existence was like a flashing several hundred watt light bulb and her eyes wished they could always stick to him. But reminded of sothing, she gritted her teeth and was just about to imdiately avert her eyes, when it so happened that a pair of sharp, deep cold eyes shot straight at her. The two faced each other at once. Chi Shuyan held her breath and calmly shifted her gaze back to Zhu Bocheng with difficulty. Last ti, he must have thought she was trying to seduce him. If she did sothing ambiguous again, she wouldn’t be able to wash it off, even if she plunged into the Yellow River. No matter how tasty this huge tonic pill was, he wasn’t her’s. It was really a pity. Why wasn’t this perfect huge tonic pill her’s?
Zhu Bocheng liked this girl’s frank and unabashed temper. If it were soone else, she’d have been already overwheld by flattery and honor and smitten with Zhenbai long ago. Of course, he also admitted that he was one of those types who whoever he found pleasing to the eye, he would be satisfied no matter where he looked at them. Otherwise, no matter how good they were, they might not have necessarily caught his attention. He was also quite happy to introduce this girl to Zhenbai.
Now that this girl didn’t know Zhenbai’s identity, if she had so problems in the future and he wasn’t there, Zhebai might be able to help out, right? Besides, Zhenbai was much more powerful than him.
Chi Shuyan really had no idea about Zhu Bocheng’s ‘profound aning’. If she had known at this mont, she really didn’t know whether to thank him for his concern or cry.
Seeing that his friend still showed no due respect for his feelings and had not said a word, Zhu Bocheng was a bit anxious, so he leaned close and whispered in Qi Zhenbai’s ear, “Zhenbai, give so face and say a few words! How embarrassed would I be otherwise?”
Qi Zhenbai glanced faintly at his overzealous friend in front of him and suspected whether this girl had poured so kind of magic potion into this guy, Zhu Bocheng. With this thought in mind, his thin lips spat out the two words ‘Qi Zhenbai’ in a clear and concise manner, choking the red-faced Zhu Bocheng, which made the atmosphere awkward.
Chi Shuyan also had nothing to say. After that, her eyes never left Zhu Bocheng. Qi Zhenbai frowned. Just then Manager Fang, looking apologetic, ca in again, breaking the awkwardness of the silent atmosphere. “Young Master Zhu, I’m really sorry. I just went to verify that the chandelier that crashed down today wasn’t old. It was just replaced with a new one two days ago. We’ve also had our shop checked a couple of tis in the last day or two, and it was fine before we let the installer go. We don’t know why the chandelier suddenly fell down today. I’m truly sorry!”
Manager Fang wasn’t really going to shirk responsibility. He was telling the truth. By all accounts, they couldn’t have had this happen in their century-old shop, and they had it inspected by a reliable installer several tis. If it was an old chandelier that fell down, it would have been reasonable, but it was the newly installed chandelier. Manager Fang felt skeptical of life.
Zhu Bocheng frowned. Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to eat this al if he fussed about it, he imdiately waved his hand for Manager Fang to go down imdiately and serve so snacks and drinks first.
“Yes, Young Master Zhu.”
Qi Zhenbai had always been keen and sohow suddenly thought of Zhu Bocheng’s misfortunes these days. His brows knitted and never eased. He could consider conspiracy theories in other matters, but he couldn’t make sense of today. He didn’t think the Zhu family’s hands would dare to stretch out in front of him. Could it only be that this kid, Zhu Bocheng, was too unlucky?
Chi Shuyan sat down, her eyes deepened a bit, and asked Zhu Bocheng inadvertently, “What happened to the chandelier earlier?”
“It’s nothing. I was so unlucky just now and almost got hit by a chandelier!” At this mont, Zhu Bocheng was also a little depressed. What Manager Fang had just said reminded him that he’d been getting more and more unlucky every day for the past few days. Having brushed past death several tis, he was getting cold feet. He was a staunch materialist, but at this mont, he couldn’t help but say to Qi Zhenbai, “Zhenbai, I’ve had bad luck repeatedly in the past few days. Should I go worship at the temple so other day or ask an expert to change my bad luck? Not to ntion how many tis I was unlucky recently, I’m also chilled to the bone just thinking about that chandelier smashing down!” Having said so much, Zhu Bocheng reverted to his usual playful tone and didn’t take it too seriously. “Forget it, let’s eat first. Maybe, I’ll have better luck later on! Sister Shuyan, feel free to order whatever you want to eat today.”
Chi Shuyan stared at Zhu Bocheng wordlessly.
Not to ntion that Chi Shuyan was very fond of Zhu Bocheng, even if a person died in front of her for no reason, she couldn’t remain indifferent. It was terrifying looking at the black mist growing thicker on Zhu Bocheng’s forehead and glinting ominously from ti to ti.
It was reasonable to say that Zhu Bocheng’s original fortune was extrely good, red and white, with a few wisps of purple aura. Naturally, the fate of a man like him wouldn’t be worse.
But now, he was dusty with a blackened glabella, and a dense black mist lingering all over him. The 12 zodiac signs were all in turmoil, which was a sign that everything wasn’t going well and bad luck was overshadowing everything.
He must have touched sothing that shouldn’t have been touched during this ti, or moved sothing that shouldn’t have been moved. She was afraid that that person didn’t just want to bring Zhu Bocheng bad luck, but actually wanted him to die.
Qi Zhenbai saw that the girl in front of him hadn’t taken her eyes off Zhu Bocheng since she entered the door, and squinted his long, narrow slender eyes. There was no joy or anger on his face, but it took one’s breath away and made one afraid to take a breath.
Noticing that not only was the girl in front of him staring at him, but also his best friend beside him, Zhu Bocheng quickly quipped, “Sister Chi, you keep staring at . Do you have a crush on ?” He paused, then said smugly to Qi Zhenbai, “Zhenbai, this is the first ti a girl has ever looked at in your presence without looking at you!”
However, Chi Shuyan wasn’t in the mood to kid around. Regardless of whether he believed her or not, she suddenly said to Zhu Bocheng, “You’d really better find an expert to change your bad luck. I think you’ll have a lot of bad luck in the next couple of days, so it’s best not to go out, especially today. Don’t go out, or else you’ll be seriously injured or killed. I happen to have a Peace Talisman here, 100,000 a piece. I’ll give you a 30% discount, 30,000 a piece.”
As soon as her words fell, Zhu Bocheng first spurted out laughing, laughing so hard he was convulsing. “Talented, really talented! You’re so good, Sister Chi, even better at this than ! I barely convinced you today. Bring this Peace Talisman with you for now. If I need anything in the future, I’ll be sure to call you first!”
